Avista Senior Living

It has been the best place for my mother. Before coming she barely ate. Now she is at every meal and loves the food. And that is a great compliment as she said she would only eat "German food". Also she has made many friends. She has found out that there are many others who are in her situation.

I first toured Garnet Place with Rachel who was very informative and answered all of my questions. I then met with Jamie, whose warm personality made me feel completely comfortable with moving my mother into Garnet Place. Since moving to Garnet Place about three weeks ago, I have to say that I can tell a definite improvement in my mother's attitude. She seems to really enjoy the Garnet Place community, and has had a smile on her face every time I visit.

Powell Place is so wonderful, our family are "frequent stayers" - beginning when the facility first opened in Payson with my Grandmother; she was the 3rd tenant to move in. Since then my husband's mother found a home at Powell and my father and mother both stayed for a short time while my father was on the mend from a fall and he needed help caring for my mother who was in early stages of Dementia. Once better, they returned home and as time moved on, my mother passed and my father moved to Payson to live on his own, until the need arose that it was apparent he needed assistance and a watchful, caring staff. Of course, once again, I turned to Powell to take care of him. In my experience, Powell Place has only improved over the years. and I would highly recommend to any family with a loved one needing an assisted living environment. There is always an activity or two and the staff are wonderful at engaging the residents. Powell feels like a personal home - no other words more fitting can be said.

My elderly mother was living in a nice senior retirement community for about 12 years in Boise, Idaho. In the past 6 months, my mom had a series of falls, breaking bones etc. I have spent months researching assisted living facilities and the many legal issues involved. I visited Garnet Place several times, as well as many other places. I felt that the staff and the facilities at Garnet Place would be the best place for my mom. One of the managers, Jamie Pitts, was extremely helpful to me during my research phase. I am grateful for her help!

Our mother has been a resident at Aurora Place for seven months now and we couldn't be more pleased. The staff and facility are wonderful. We looked at several homes before selecting this one and are extremely glad we did.

This place is a excellent place to move your loved one to my mother is really enjoying her time here. The staff is just wonderful I wish I could remember all their names they do such a good job interacting with the residents there which I know can be a tough job.The food is good my mother seems to enjoy. The facility is very clean that's one of the things that sold us on the place. There are a lot of activities for her to go to she really enjoys going to play bingo. Overall she seems to be adjusting well to the community and the people there. I've already recommend this community to people and will continue too.

My mother is doing fine at Brookdale Magnolia. I find the place to be clean as well as the staff to be very helpful. The staff is polite and respectful, I've spoken to some of the residents there and even though they can be unhappy at times due the fact their families aren't coming to visit them as often as they'd like, the staff is very patient and understanding.

I was very impressed. Beautiful setting. Nice people who enjoy assisting the residence.

The only thing we have to say about this place is wonderful!

I would say that the staff members promptly address your concerns. When we first visited, the PR representatives were always there for us. I think the food is good and they make sure to address any special diet needs. Any maintenance concerns are handled there right away.

I can not think of a single improvement that the Brookdale Magnolia facility needs right at this moment. I do not have any complaints about the place and overall I think that it is an alright place to stay at.

My mom is a dementia patient. We're having a hard time getting her clothes back when they do laundry. I'm not sure if she is giving them away or their not realizing their her clothes. Other than that great place. I gave everything 5 stars.

Things are going very well at Meadows Place. They are really doing right by her. Thank you.

My Mom has only been there for a little over a month now, but things are going very well. The staff is taking good care of her. My Dad was only there for a week in hospice care before he passed, but they took excellent care of him too. They have handled things very well.

Overall I think WindRiver is excellent. They keep the place clean and cheerful, and the caregivers seem to really care about the residents. It's a high quality place for our elders. My only complaint is directed at corporate headquarters where their dietician doesn't seem to be at all sensitive to the dietary needs of older people who are often diabetic, lactose sensitive, and need soft meat. I have found that in this industry, the least professional caregivers are overworked and underpaid, unfortunately, but the wonderful caring souls at WindRiver still give kind and caring attention wherever they are needed.

This is a beautiful place and the grounds are well maintained also. They treat you like family here and are very caring and compassionate. The living quarters are nice and always clean. The staff is always willing to lend a hand.

Everyone is extremely friendly and willing to listen. I have not come across anybody that is snotty or stubborn. The only thing I have some trouble with is when I point something out that needs to be done, I have to go up ladder, to management and the like. It's not perfect, but it's pretty good.

I am very happy with everything that they have done. My initial contact with them was that they were very friendly and very helpful. They seemed very accessible. We have only had one incident where my brother had a problem and they called and let me know and took him to the hospital and I am extremely happy with the care he is receiving.

They are very attentive to the residents, but I would have liked to see a better orientation. Almost like a tour kind of thing, like a one-on-one orientation. It has been really good though and I feel comfortable leaving my loved one there.

The experience with The Peridot has been very good. They answer questions readily and always return my calls. They did everything we asked and we are very happy with them.
